My musings on our homeschool, coop, figuring out what my educational philosophy is anyway, and will I ever make curtains for the rest of the appartment?
M did not break his metatarsil. But he did sprain his foot. M is bored. He could just barely hold still for the Imaging Technology Intern, who crooned over how cute his bones where when she showed the first look Continue reading Status List
I’m sort of a seasonal scrapbooker. I put projects away, then pull them out months later when I can focus on them. Now that I’m designing, knitting is more year round, but other projects are the same way: I write Continue reading Sticky Notes in my Computer
This Sunday, M was sick enough to have a fever and stuffy head, but well enough to be bored by videos and board games. Staying home from church to play video games seemed wrong somehow to me, in a vague Continue reading Constitutional{p,f,h,r}
“Only the best trash for you Babe!” said my husband. He has off for President’s Day today – he’s repairing a friend’s laptop, and re-furbishing a desk top he picked up on the side of the road. It’s faster than Continue reading Reset Week
I forgot to set my alarm this morning to swim, then as I groggily wondered where my gear was, M wandered in for a snuggle, and he has a fever. So does K. So I checked my e-mail and made Continue reading Oops
K turned 4 this Valentine’s Day. She thinks stripes are pretty on her new shirt, but more important, they tickle Daddy’s eyes by making him see optical illusions. And when they don’t, she dances really fast to help them out. Continue reading {p,f,h,r} Week of Fancy Birthday Food
There is an interview up at ChristineGuestDesigns.com with Stephanie Tallent. Mostly about her personal knitting, but she does have an interesting new book, California Revival Knits, soon to be released. I’m sure you’ve seen this video, but I Love it. Continue reading Monday’s promotion of my other blog ;-)
I was beginning the “find your shoes, what needs to go back to the library drill, when I realized that since we are going swimming this afternoon, I could stay in this morning and…why was that exciting again? Oh yeah, Continue reading Wow, a whole hour – what do I do with it?
I actually enjoy dentist office days, the kids have good teeth, and are pretty brave about drills, so I get the morning off from phonics, and get to read magazines or play with the other kids. Dr Friedman’s Office used Continue reading {pretty, funny, happy, real} Dentist Office
K is very fuzzy about time. Most days she asks me what sort of day it is. Wednesday means nothing, but ‘school day.’ or ‘church day’ or ‘Daddy has off from work today,’ make sense. I laid out my swimming Continue reading Swimming II
M has been reading a controlled reader a day for the last 3 days, mostly remembering which letter is d, and which one is b or p. The ease or difficulty of that reading depends on how much his teeth Continue reading Status of the Scholars
I did go swimming today. My goal was just to get out the door, but I did swim. For someone who learned the crawl in an adult class 10 years ago, it was a good amount, for someone who swam Continue reading
